Configuring SNMPv3 Users via SNMP

To configure SNMPv3 users, the EMS must use the standard snmpUsmMIB and the snmpVacmMIB.

To add a read-only, noAuthNoPriv SNMPv3 user, v3user:

1.

Clone the row with the same security level. After the clone step, the status of the row will be notReady(3).

2.

Activate the row. That is, set the row status to active(1).

3.

Add a row to the vacmSecurityToGroupTable for SecurityName v3user, GroupName ReadGroup1 and SecurityModel usm(3).

➢

To delete the read-only, noAuthNoPriv SNMPv3 user, v3user:

1.

If v3user is associated with a trap destination, follow the procedure for associating a different user to that trap destination. (See below.)

2.

Delete the vacmSecurityToGroupTable row for SecurityName v3user, GroupName ReadGroup1 and SecurityModel usm.

3.

Delete the row in the usmUserTable for v3user.
